Relentless efforts to combat the proliferation of drugs in the province have yielded positive results, as demonstrated by the recent arrest of a 23-year-old suspect in Lwamondo Tshikosi Village.
In an intelligence-driven operation on Thursday, 31 July 2025, a joint team comprising the Provincial Intervention Unit and Thohoyandou Detectives successfully apprehended the suspect for possession of suspected illicit drugs (crystal meth).
According to police reports, the operation was launched after authorities received a tip-off about a male suspect in possession of narcotics. Acting swiftly, the team moved in at approximately 14:00 and conducted a search at the suspect’s residence in Lwamondo Tshikosi, under the Vuwani Policing area, where the drugs were discovered.
The suspect is expected to appear before the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court soon to face charges related to the possession of illegal substances.
Police confirmed that investigations are ongoing as part of broader efforts to dismantle drug networks in the region.
